‘the harrow held stillness on the crest’, 2009 (acrylic, fabric, foam, paper, pencil, photo transfer, wood)

american artist gregory euclide explores nature through subverted interpretations of idealized landscape
paintings. based in minnesota, euclide is also a teacher with an interest in ‘the complexity and
interconnectedness of the environment’. this perspective informs his work that in flat paintings as well
as relief paintings that integrate a variety of mediums. these works explore nature and cultural
expectations of nature constructed through things like landscape painting or wildlife documentaries.
euclide aims to show the contradictions in these two views and highlights them through his diverse use
of materials.
